professionals don't lose your compassion

Hi 

I am sure there are lots of lovely cancer specialists out there (especially on here) but please don't ever forget just because you deal with this on a day to day basis this is brand new to us, yes we want the truth and an outline of treatment but with compassion please.  We are scared, tired, emotional and so worried about the future.  We had plans and dreams......which are being taken away from us.  We are people, not just a cancer.
